Three things to remember
- 1Sort by state first and store by size second, instead of spreading every garment out at once.
- 2On the first pass record only name, size and state; brand, price and tags can follow later.
- 3Each change of season, work through just two action lists: "wear soon" and "for sale".
Four states beat sorting by colour or category
The point of sorting is not to look tidy — it is to answer "what happens to this garment next?"
| State | When it applies | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| 預購 | Ordered, shipping not yet confirmed | Keep the order source and the expected season |
| 未到 | The shop or group organiser has shipped it | Check it on arrival and change it to stored |
| 入庫 | Already at home and still worn | Add the size and a storage-location tag |
| 可出售 | Wrong size, or definitely no longer worn | Check the condition, set a price, build a sale bundle |
Build your first digital wardrobe in 30 minutes
- 1
Take three bags; do not empty the whole wardrobe
Split into worn now, size to confirm, and on the way out. Do one drawer at a time and only open the next once it is done.
- 2
File the 10 most-worn items first
Take a flat-lay or hanger photo and enter name, size and state. Having usable data matters more than being complete on day one.
- 3
Record locations with consistent tags
For example "main bedroom top shelf", "going-out bag", "season box 90". Location names should make sense to everyone else who looks after your child.
- 4
Turn the next step into a list
Mark anything nearly outgrown as "wear soon" and anything definitely leaving as "for sale" — no more digging through boxes from memory.
Which fields are essential? Keep it minimal so you don't give up halfway
When you first start filing a wardrobe, being able to recognise the garment, know its size and know its current state is already enough to be useful. Add brand, purchase price, condition and sale price when you are ready to resell.
Do not tag one garment "cream", "off-white" and "oat" at the same time. Settle on the words your household actually searches for, and filtering will stay reliable later.
The minimum fields we suggest
- Name: recognisable at a glance, such as "beige knit cardigan"
- Size: keep the label's own wording, such as 90, 2T or 12–18M
- State: pre-order, not arrived, stored or for sale
- Photo: the garment alone; there is no need to publish a photo of your child wearing it
A rhythm of 10 minutes a month and 30 minutes a season
Work through the change of season in order
- Filter for "wear soon" first and plan to actually wear those this week.
- Check sizes item by item, and change anything that no longer fits to "for sale".
- Change pre-order and not-arrived items that have turned up to stored, so you stop chasing them.
- When one size and season is clearly overstocked, stop buying before deciding what to keep.
- File photos of the clothes only; if you plan to share a sale page, keep out names, schools, addresses and identifiable photos of children.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions
There are so many clothes — should I file them all at once?
We would not. Start with the 10 most-worn items of the current season, then add one drawer or one size box at a time. The completion rate is usually much higher than spreading everything out at once.
Should clothes be stored by size or by category?
Split by whether they are worn now first, then by size, and only then by category such as tops or trousers. For a fast-growing child, size and next action usually matter more than colour.
Do I have to upload photos of my child wearing the clothes?
No. A flat-lay, hanger or clean-background photo of the garment is enough to file it, and works better for sharing or reselling later. Public content should avoid names, school badges, addresses and identifiable photos of children.
